what did vinoba bhave say about first chapter of gita

[Guest guest]

Some people think that the Gita should be taken to begin from the

Second Chapter. If the actual teaching commences in the eleventh

sloka of the Second Chapter, why not start from there? Someone even

told me, "God has said that He manifests himself in 'a' among the

letters of Nagari alphabet. Here the sloka 'asochyaananyasochastvam'

begins spontaneously with the letter 'a'. So we should take that as

the beginning."

 

Apart from this argument, in many ways it would be quite right to

take this as the beginning. All the same the introductory portion

preceding this does have a value of its own. Without this preliminary

narrative we cannot properly understand where exactly Arjuna stands

and what the Gita is intended to teach.

if some one has a copy of it which can be spared , please intimate me

 

Soon you will find here the string of topics the group is related to,

in terms of Gita , being posted here.

 

May god bless u all,

 

with love to all
